Season 1, Episode 1: History of Psychedelics Part 1 - a podcast by SIU History

SIU Senior Brock Renshaw sits down with Ben, Josh, and guest co-host Ryan to discuss the fascinating history of psychedelic drugs, including natural hallucinogens found in Meso-America to Dr. Albert Hoffman's discovery of LSD in the 1930s and 40s. Brock focuses on the early and middle twentieth century where psychedelics were being studied for their medical benefits, at least until a couple of government experiments and a Harvard professor went a little overboard. Part one of a two part series!
